(WIAT) – Wednesday might not be the normal movie night. But Trekkies are the normal movie fans either. And they took over the McWane Center’s I-Max theatre for the big premiere.

Many of them in costume. For them, it’s nothing different than a football fan wearing the jersey of their favorite team.

But it wasn’t just fans wearing Vulcan ears and toting phasers that came out. Young and old, men and women, Romulan and Klingon – all could agree that it was a fun time sitting in the theatre and watching the latest installment of their favorite science fiction story come to life on the big screen.
